[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we can help them by differentiating students based on where they are. That means no trying to do the impossible thing of SIMULTANEOUSLY keeping them on grade level when they're already behind and playing catch up.

Once a student is identified as being behind, MCPS needs to pull them out and focus on intensive 1:1 or small group work to help that child get up to standard. THEN when they are up to standard, you can look to reintegrate them. But MCPS cannot keep pushing kids who are behind grade level through grade level work and classes that they cannot comprehend or engage with.

We have demonized pull outs and differentiation and that needs to stop.[/quote]

It's like they do this so Montgomery College can continue existing. And "It's embarrassing if Larla can't be in same reading group as Karla, they're in same XYZ clubs/extra curricular activities..." But sweet Larla can't read like Karla, yet.[/quote]

Right. I'm more concerned about the getting the child's ABILITY up to par than their hurt feelings, which are temporary and for that moment in time while they're behind. MCPS is ridiculous.[/quote]
